The meaning of giving white orchids

When we give away white orchids we are transmitting a torrent of feelings. 
The person who makes the gift, is wanting to convey admiration for the person to whom the orchids are directed, but above all we are talking with the language of the flowers, showing innocence, purity of feelings, sophistication, peace and transparency in our intentions. 
Because the meanings of orchids are so many and so diverse , it is not a flower that is limited to love between couples, it can also be a present among family members, friends and colleagues , to whom we wish to transmit affection and admiration. 
The white orchid is considered as the flower of wisdom,and it is that you have to be very intelligent to transmit feelings without even opening your mouth. 
Of the white orchids, I would highlight above all their beauty and their elegance, a sign of sophistication for any corner where they are placed.
